I listen to Alice, Soundgarden, mudhoney, screaming trees , earth, nirvana Melvin's smashing pumpkins Lemonheads Jane's addiction, sebadoh dinosaur, Afghan Whigs, hater, l7 faith no more and chilli's because good music is good music any year/decade. End of.
Notice how the most popular bands of that era don't like to be classified as "Grunge" but the lesser known bands usually embrace it as a marketing tool!
It's my understanding Mark Arm was in fact the individual who coined the term "grunge" in regards to the Seattle scene. I don't think it's a shameful moniker either. This is stated in the film Hype
Mudhoney made me pick up a guitar. They had the 60's garage / Stooges / Psyche / Punk all wrapped up. I got a fuzz and a wah and that was it. I saw them in 1992 when everything was really hitting. I think I lost my shoe in the pit, but found it after. Thanks dudes! I still play in bands looking for that vibe.
Mark is correct. "You're Living All Over Me" was initially released while the band was still called "Dinosaur". Although most of the record pressings included the "Jr.", the first few did not. Source: I own one.
I’m still listening to Alice In Chains and I’m 55. I’ll listen to them to the day I die. Still you get to a point in your life where you stop moving on to new music. Music is generational and the meaning and identity is different for each generation . To me music ended in the late 90s, early 2000s. Cobain could have moved into other forms of music. Like McCarthy forming Wings after the Beatles. I wasn’t meant to be. It was actually Dave Grohl that did so.
You know, you can totally listen to Mudhoney and The Presidents of the United States of America. They both kick ass, just in different ways. I know Steve's not saying you can't, but that juxtaposition would seem weird to some people.
I’ve always liked mudhoney and it’s a big shame that soon to be irrelevant bands like nirvana and Pearl jam overshadowed them and mudhiney were not given more attension typical market the popular overnight sensations and leave the bands with actual talent behind
